Magic in the Journey

 



Magic in the Journey


Death is the destination,

but the road smells of cinnamon and old letters.


You walk and the wind hums secrets

only the trees understand.

A cat crosses your path

and leaves a trail of tiny golden stars

that vanish before you can touch them.


Time drips like honey from the sky.

Moments settle in your hair

and in the pockets of your coat,

waiting to be found again.


Happiness sits on a chair at the edge of a field,

whispering a story you almost remember.

Sadness leans on the doorway,

smiling without words,

as if it has known you your whole life.


Your heart keeps a drawer of invisible things

a torn photograph,

a laugh that no one else heard,

a shadow that lingers even when the sun is gone.


Flowers bloom in the corners of streets

that nobody notices,

and when you look back

they are gone,

but the scent stays in your chest.


Death waits quietly at the end of the road,

its hands full of light and dust.

You are not afraid.

You know the journey is the magic

the small, impossible moments

that make the ordinary shimmer.


And you walk,

leaving little traces of warmth

like invisible footprints

that no one will follow

except perhaps someone who dreams

exactly like you.
